The best surprise ever!!! or... Future Planet

[Rasputin]

I was thinking that Geobra is pushing the envelope even more than ever with all the lights, electrical gadgets and now laser tag games in this theme. At one time playmobil never wanted to have sound and lights but over time they started making the police/fire theme with lights. They recently even added the sounds to the Chinese versions. Now with all these electronic features who knows where they will stop 

I do like all these sets but maybe less electrical features. The old space sets had all the lights also and was received very poorly. I do not know I guess until I have them in my hands

Another reason to revel in the Medieval theme, its derivatives, and other historical ones!

We may be nostalgic of the old playmospace, but the current kid generation is extremely fond of all the gadges and electronics... I observed that the future planet sets are selling like hot cakes in the toystores... boys seem they can't have enough of it. An uncle of mine gave me a call two weeks ago and asked in which toyshop he can get all the sets for his two boy grandchildren ... lucky kids  And a friend of mine has twin sons and they already got the whole series... he said its nice to see them off Playstation for a change. So it works for the kids.

Once again, its not what we adults want... Playmobil is making it clear they only care about their children market pool.

Just don't put batteries in, and problem solved.

What a marvelous surprise!! Such nice people on this forum. Thanks for sharing the story and all of these photos!

Once again, I thought that I had no interest in these sets, but seeing the photos quickly changed my mind. I actually really like all the light up features (I'm certain my kids will, too).

Have a great weekend enjoying your gift!!

That's a good solution too

Looking at these sets again and the close up pictures , the details and the spacecraft and bot etc , the playmospace series which i am looking at as we speak looks prehistoric comparing to future planet

i wish you to resolve your problems soon Panos , life is not simple sometimes ... i'm glad to see that : playmofriend can act as friends !

Oh I know the kids will love this stuff, when my sons saw them almost a year ago they got so excited about the theme. They still are patiently waiting for their release and have lists of sets they want. For some reason this theme seems very heavy on the electronics to me, which is unlike any we have seen before. I guess it is just shocking to me, similar to how the Pirate theme collectors felt when the skull and cross bones started to dominate or when the RC trains took over the LGB etc.......

Now that I have seen those bots out of the box I think I want dozens of them  I wonder if you could repaint them to look Star Wars-ish, because I see some one in here doing customs very soon.
